preface

Computers have been trying hard to make sense of language in recent decades. Supported by disciplines like linguistics, computer science, statistics, and machine learning, the field of computational linguistics or natural language processing (NLP) has come into full bloom, supported by numerous scientific journals, conferences, and active industry participation. Big tech companies like Google, Facebook, IBM, and Microsoft appear to have prioritized their efforts in natural language analysis and understanding, and progressively offer datasets and helpful open source software for the natural language processing community. Currently, deep learning is increasingly dominating the NLP field.

To someone who is eager to join this exciting field, the high pace at which new developments take place in the deep learning–oriented NLP community may seem daunting. There seems to be a large gap between descriptive, statistical, and more traditional machine learning approaches to NLP on the one hand, and the highly technical, procedural approach of deep learning neural networks on the other hand. This book aims to bridge this gap a bit, through a gentle introduction to deep learning for NLP. It targets students, linguists, computer scientists, practitioners, and all other people interested in artificial intelligence. Let’s refer to these groups of people as NLP engineers. When I was a student, lacking a systematic computational linguistics program in those days, I pretty much pieced together a personal—and necessarily incomplete—NLP curriculum. It was a tough job. My motivation for writing this book has been to make this journey a bit easier for aspiring NLP engineers, and to give you a head start by introducing you to the fundamentals of deep learning–based NLP.

I sincerely believe that to become an NLP engineer with the ambition to produce innovative solutions, you need to possess advanced software development and machine learning skills. You need to fiddle with algorithms and come up with new variants yourself. Much like the 17th-century Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who designed and produced his own microscopes for experimentation, the modern-day NLP engineer creates their own digital instruments for studying and analyzing language. Whenever an NLP engineer succeeds in building a model of natural language that adheres to the facts, that is, is observationally adequate, not only industrial (that is, practical) but also scientific progress has been made. I invite you to adopt this mindset, to continuously observe how humans process language, and to contribute to the wonderful field of NLP, where, in spite of algorithmic progress, so many topics are still open!

about this book

This book will give you a thorough introduction to deep learning applied to a variety of language analysis tasks, supported by actual hands-on code. Explicitly linking the evergreens of computational linguistics (such as part-of-speech tagging, textual similarity, topic labeling, and Question Answering) to deep learning will help you become a proficient deep learning, natural language processing (NLP) expert. Beyond this, the book covers state-of-the-art approaches to challenging new problems.

Who should read this book

The intended audience for this book is anyone working in NLP: computational linguists, software engineers, and students. The field of machine learning–based NLP is vast and comprises a daunting number of formalisms and approaches. With deep learning entering the stage, many are eager to get their feet wet but may shy away from the highly technical nature of deep learning and the fast pace of this field—new approaches, software, and papers emerge on a daily basis. This book will bring you up to speed.

This book is not for those who wish to become proficient in deep learning in a general manner, readers in need of an introduction to NLP, or anyone desiring to master Keras, the deep learning Python library we use. Manning offers two books that fill these gaps and can be read as companions to this book: Natural Language Processing in Action (Hobson Lane, Cole Howard, and Hannes Hapke, 2019; www.manning.com/books/natural-language-processing-in-action) and Deep Learning with Python (François Chollet, 2021: www.manning.com/books/deep-learning-with-python-second-edition). If you want a quick and thorough introduction to Keras, visit https://keras.io/getting_started/intro_to_keras_for_engineers.

How this book is organized: A road map

Part 1, consisting of chapters 1, 2, and 3, introduces the history of deep learning, the basic architectures of deep learning for NLP and their implementation in Keras, and how to represent text for deep learning using embeddings and popular embedding strategies.

Part 2, consisting of chapters 4, 5, and 6, focuses on assessing textual similarity with deep learning, processing long sequences with memory-equipped models for Question Answering, and then applying such memory models to other NLP.

Part 3, consisting of chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10, starts by introducing neural attention, then moves on to the concept of multitask learning, using Transformers, and finally getting hands-on with BERT and inspecting the embeddings it produces.

About the code

The code we develop in this book is somewhat generic. Keras is a dynamic library, and while I was writing the book, some things changed, including the now-exclusive dependency of Keras on TensorFlow as a backend (a Keras backend is low-level code for performing efficient neural network computations). The changes are limited, but occasionally you may need to adapt the syntax of your code if you're using the latest Keras version (version 2.0 and above).

In the book, we draw pragmatic inspiration from public domain, open source code and reuse code snippets that are handy. Specific sources include the following:

The Keras source code base, which contains many examples addressing NLP

The code accompanying the companion book Deep Learning with Python

Popular and excellent open source websites like https://adventuresinmachinelearning.com and https://machinelearningmastery.com

Blogs like http://karpathy.github.io

Coder communities like Stack Overflow

The emphasis of the book is more on outlining algorithms and code and less on achieving academic state-of-the-art results. However, starting from the basic solutions and approaches outlined throughout the book, and backed up by the many practical code examples, you will be empowered to reach better results.

This book contains many examples of source code both in numbered listings and in line with normal text. In both cases, source code is formatted in a fixed-width font like this to separate it from ordinary text.

In many cases, the original source code has been reformatted; we’ve added line breaks and reworked indentation to accommodate the available page space in the book. In some cases, even this was not enough, and listings include line-continuation markers (➥). Code annotations accompany many of the listings, highlighting important concepts.

You can get executable snippets of code from the liveBook (online) version of this book at https://livebook.manning.com/book/deep-learning-for-natural-language-processing. The complete code for the examples in the book is available for download from the Manning website at https://www.manning.com/books/deep-learning-for-natural-language-processing, and from GitHub at https://github.com/stephanraaijmakers/deeplearningfornlp.

1 Deep learning for NLP

This chapter covers

Taking a short road trip through machine learning applied to NLP

Learning about the historical roots of deep learning

Introducing vector-based representations of language

Language comes naturally to humans but has historically been hard for computers to grasp. This book addresses the application of recent, cutting-edge deep learning techniques to automated language analysis. In the last decade, deep learning has emerged as the vehicle of the latest wave in artificial intelligence (AI). Results have consistently redefined the state of the art for a plethora of data analysis tasks in a variety of domains. For an increasing number of deep learning algorithms, better- than-human (human-parity or superhuman) performance has been reported: for instance, speech recognition in noisy conditions and medical diagnosis based on images. Current deep learning–based natural language processing (NLP) outperforms all pre-existing approaches by a large margin. What exactly makes deep learning so suitable for these intricate analysis tasks, in particular language processing? This chapter presents some of the background necessary to answer this question and guides you through a selection of important topics in machine learning for NLP.

We first examine a few main approaches to machine learning: the neural perceptron, support vector machines, and memory-based learning. After that, we look at historical developments leading to deep learning and address vector representations: encoding data (notably, textual) with numerical representations suitable for processing by neural networks.

Let’s start by discussing a few well-known machine learning–based NLP algorithms in some detail, illustrated with a handful of practical examples to whet your appetite. After that, we present the case for deep learning–based NLP.

1.1 A selection of machine learning methods for NLP

Let’s start with a quick (and necessarily incomplete) tour of machine learning–based NLP (see figure 1.1). Current natural language processing heavily relies on machine learning. Machine learning has its roots in statistics, building among others on the seminal work by Thomas Bayes and Pierre-Simon Laplace in the 18th and 19th centuries and the least-squares methods for curve approximation by Legendre in 1812. The field of neural computing started with the work of McCulloch and Pitts in 1943, who put forward a formal theory (and logical calculus) of neural networks. It would take until 1950 before learning machines were proposed by Alan Turing.

Figure 1.1 Machine learning for NLP. A first look at neural machine learning, plus background on support vector machines and memory-based learning.

All machine learning algorithms that perform classification (labeling) share a single goal: to arrive at linear separability of data that is labeled with classes: labels that indicate a (usually exclusive) category to which a data point belongs. Data points presented to a machine learning algorithm typically consist of vector representations of descriptive traits. These representations constitute a so-called input space. The subsequent processing, manipulation, and abstraction of the input space during the learning stage of a self-learning algorithm yields a feature space. Some of this processing can be done external to the algorithm: raw data can be converted to features as part of a preprocessing stage, which technically creates an input space consisting of features. The output space consists of class labels that separate the various data points in a dataset based on the class boundaries. The essence of deep learning, as we will see, is to learn abstract representations in the feature space. Figure 1.2 illustrates how deep learning mediates between inputs and outputs: through abstract representations derived from the input data.

Figure 1.2 From input space to output space (labels). Deep learning constructs inter-mediate, abstract representations of input data, mapping an input space to a feature space. Through this mapping, it learns to relate input to output: to map the input space to an output space (encoding class labels or other interpretations of the input data).

Training a machine learning component involves learning boundaries between classes, which may depend on complex functions. The burden of learning class separability can be alleviated by smart feature preprocessing. Learning the class boundaries occurs by performing implicit or explicit transformations on linearly inseparable input spaces. Figure 1.3 shows a non-linear class boundary: a line separating objects in two classes that cannot be modeled by a linear function f(x) = ax + b. The function corresponding to this line is a non-linear classifier. A real-world example would be a bowl of multicolored marbles mixed in such a way that they cannot be separated from each other by means of a straight plate (like a flat scoop).

Figure 1.3 Non-linear classifier. The two classes (indicated with circles and triangles) cannot be separated with a linear line.

A linear function that separates classes with a straight line is a linear classifier and would produce a picture like figure 1.4.

Figure 1.4 Linear classifier. The two classes (indicated with circles and triangles) can be separated with a straight line.

We now briefly address three types of machine learning approaches that have had major uptake in NLP:

The single-layer perceptron and its generalization to the multilayer perceptron

Support vector machines

Memory-based learning

While there is a lot more to the story, these three types embody, respectively, the neural or cognitive, eager, and lazy types of machine learning. All of these approaches relate naturally to the deep learning approach to natural language analysis, which is the main topic of this book.

1.1.1 The perceptron

In 1957, the first implementation of a biologically inspired machine learning component was realized: Rosenblatt’s perceptron. This device, implemented on physical hardware, allowed the processing of visual stimuli represented by a square 400 (20 by 20) array of photosensitive cells. The weights of this network were set by electromotors driving potentiometers. The learning part of this perceptron was based on a simple one-layer neural network, which effectively became the archetype of neural networks (see figure 1.5).

Figure 1.5 Rosenblatt’s perceptron: the fruit fly of neural machine learning. It represents a single neuron receiving several inputs and generating (by applying a threshold) a single output value.

Suppose you have a vector of features that describe aspects of a certain object of interest, like the words in a document, and you want to create a function from these features to a binary label (for instance, you want to decide if the document conveys a positive or negative sentiment). The single-layer perceptron is capable of doing this. It produces a binary output y (0 or 1) from a weighted combination of input values x1...xn, based on a threshold θ and a bias b:

The weights w1, ...wn are learned from annotated training data consisting of input vectors labeled with output labels. The thresholded unit is called a neuron. It receives the summed and weighted input v. So, assume we have the set of weights and associated inputs shown in table 1.1.

Table 1.1 Weighted input

Then their summed and weighted output would be

This simplistic network is able to learn a specific set of functions that address the class of linearly separable problems: problems that are separable in input space with a linear function. Usually, these are the easier problems in classification. It is quite common for data to be heavily entangled. Consider undoing a knot in two separate ropes. Some knots are easy and can be undone in one step. Other knots need many more steps. This is the business of machine learning algorithms: undoing the intertwining of data objects living in different classes. For NLP, the single-layer perceptron nowadays plays a marginal role, but it underlies several derived algorithms that strive for simplicity, such as online learning (Bottou 1998).

A practical example of a perceptron classifier is the following. We set out to build a document classifier that categorizes raw texts as being broadly about either atheism or medical topics. The popular 20 newsgroups dataset (http://qwone.com/~jason/20Newsgroups), one of the most widely used datasets for building and evaluating document classifiers, consists of newsgroup (Usenet) texts distributed over 20 hand-assigned topics. Here is what we do:

Make a subselection for two newsgroups of interest: alt.atheism and sci.med.

Train a simple perceptron on a vector representation of the documents in these two classes. A vector is nothing more than a container (an ordered list of a finite dimension) for numerical values.

The vector representation is based on a statistical representation of words called TF.IDF, which we discuss in section 1.3.2. For now, just assume TF.IDF is a magic trick that turns documents into vectors that can be fed to a machine learning algorithm.

Don’t worry if you don’t completely understand the following listing right now. It’s here to give you an idea of what the code looks like for a basic perceptron.
